Jun Jiuling

Chapter 767

A sharp horn came from the sky, and the sound of the horn became more and more dense, making people palpitating.

This is different from the drums of the Zhou people. The soldiers standing on the city wall saw a car driving out of the golden camp in the distance, followed by golden soldiers.

The trench had already been filled, and the potholed ground could not slow down the speed of these cars.

These cars at this time are different from the previous shield cars. In addition to the armor cover, there are also long ladders placed on them.

Compared with the ladder carried by Jin Bing before, this is a more powerful siege weapon.

The war drums on the city wall were also beating, and teams of peasants rushed up the city wall with wooden barrels.

Standing by the outer wall, they could see the densely packed golden soldiers coming without looking down, and heard the ferocious shouting and killing.

Maybe it's because I've been numb after watching too much, and I'm not as panic-stricken as before.

The golden soldiers had rushed under the city wall, but there were no bows and crossbows on the city wall. First, the guards on the siege vehicles were tightly guarded, and many golden soldiers were hiding behind them, so the bows and crossbows were not powerful enough. Too many crossbow arrows.

The siege engine approached the city wall, and the sound of thumping seemed to shake the entire city wall.

The people on the city wall were still not panicked or confused.

"fall!"

until an order is given.

The peasants dumped the wooden barrels, and all kinds of oil were poured down along the city wall, followed by another group of peasants who lit torches and threw them down.

Flames rose from under the city wall, accompanied by the screams of Jin Bing.

"Rolling Stone!"

The waiting peasants on the other side pushed down the logs and stones in front of them one after another.

There was chaos outside the city gate, with ghosts crying and wolves howling.

The peasants who had finished pouring oil didn't appreciate Jin Bing's embarrassment. They had already hurried down the city wall, while another group of peasants carrying wooden buckets were rushing up, and the two teams passed by.

Countless people were running under the city wall, large barrels of oil were pushed out, and teams of civilians waited in line.

Carry oil, go up the city wall, run down, carry oil again, go up the city wall, and cycle like this.

There were screams outside the city wall one after another, but everyone didn't laugh like they heard it a few times before.

Although they don't know how to fight, but now relying on rolling logs and hot oil to repel the golden soldiers, the people feel that things are not so good.

Why not use the powerful stone bomb of the Qingshan Army?

The stone bomb has already been used once, which not only opened the eyes of the people, but also scared the Jin people from attacking the city for two days, and retreated to the camp for twenty miles.

But these few times the Jin people came to attack the city again, but they did not use stone bombs again.

"Stone bullets are suitable for long distances. The Jinren are under the city, so throwing stone bullets is useless." A citizen said in a low voice, which was the explanation given by the officers and soldiers.

It seems to make sense, but there is something wrong.

For a day or two, the Jinren's attack became more and more fierce, but the stone bombs were never used again.

"Could it be like crossbow arrows, not enough?" Another citizen murmured.

When these words were spoken, people who heard them around felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar in this spring and March, and felt cold all over their bodies.

Looking outside the city at the golden soldiers who had to retreat because of the burning fire, the generals were very annoyed.

"The city that I thought could be taken in three or four days has not been taken in more than ten days." A golden general said angrily.

"A city with less than a thousand soldiers, are you going to force our tens of thousands of troops to siege the city?" Another golden general said with a frown.

There is no shortage of rice, grain and drinking water in the capital. If the city is besieged, it can be carried for a year and a half.

The people in the capital can resist, but they can't. After all, this is the hinterland of the Central Plains, and they can attack here by relying on speed. If the war is delayed for a long time and reinforcements from the north and south arrive, they will have no chance of winning.

"I originally thought that the people in this capital city have been addicted to wealth and honor for a long time, and they have no courage, but they didn't expect to be defeated without a single blow." General You Jin sighed deeply, "After persisting for so long, the hearts of the people have not been shaken, and it seems that the morale is stable."

These words made the other golden generals even more anxious, and they were noisy for a while, but Yu Chihai, who had been silent all this time, suddenly burst out laughing.

"As expected," he said.

What did he expect? Can't take the capital?

"Master Yu, if we fail to capture the capital this time, the Emperor will not spare us." A golden general said in a neutral tone.

To be exact, Yu Chihai will not be spared.

It was all because of his lobbying that the emperor used the power of the whole country to fight against the Zhou people with countless warriors. After the victory, he obtained countless wealth from the Zhou people and strengthened the power of Jin. Gold is bound to be spent, and national power will be greatly damaged.

Yu Chihai was not ashamed by these Yi Di who looked vicious but actually timid, and looked indifferent.

"They don't have this kind of stone bullets. There is no Qingshan army in the city." He said, pointing at the city.

The generals present were stunned.

Because of that kind of stone bullets, they almost gave up attacking the city and fled. It was Yu Chihai who insisted on trying again. Now it seems that after trying these two times, there was really no stone bullets to hit again.

Yu Chihai took a step forward, with a sneer on his face.

"So it's just a bluff," he said, "This morale is only boosted by stone bullets. Warriors, don't be fooled by them."

Did you get scammed?

The gold generals scolded the southerners for being treacherous.

"There are no reinforcements outside and no defensive force inside. Let me see how long their morale can last." Yu Chihai sneered and said, "Warriors, from now on, take turns to attack the city day and night, let us become the eternal awakening of these Zhou people." It's a nightmare."

……….

………

Accompanied by a sharp whistling, the sharp arrows flying from the bottom of the city landed on the city wall with oil and fire, and then the rain of rockets followed closely. fire.

There was also a wailing, and many young and middle-aged people had no time to avoid being shot by the arrow rain, and the city wall was in chaos.

But this is not even more terrifying. Looking down from the outer wall, there are ladders on the city wall, and densely packed golden soldiers are climbing up.

And in one place, a soldier watched as a hand grasped the city wall, and then a human head appeared, with a pointed armor, which described it as ferocious, which was very different from that of Zhou people.

Golden soldiers!

It turns out that Jinren looks like this.

This thought flashed inexplicably in the soldier's mind, and his whole body seemed to be empty, holding the weapon and falling into a sluggish state.

The screams in his ears woke him up, and then he saw two soldiers pushing the horse and bumping into the golden soldier who had just climbed up.

The spike pierced through the golden soldier, and the two soldiers pushed the man and the horse down together.

This caused the subsequent string of golden soldiers to fall from the long ladder.

"kill."

Accompanied by the old voice.

The five soldiers clenched their spears with pale expressions, and stabbed at the golden soldiers who appeared one after another.

They seemed to have forgotten their fear and just waved their spears mechanically.

The sound of fighting was everywhere on the city wall. The fighting didn't take long. The golden soldiers who climbed up quickly were killed, and the young and strong people who organized and rushed in again pushed the fire oil down. The ladder broke, and the golden soldiers Falling down, under the city wall, the flames, stones and logs kept rolling.

Another wave of attacks was repelled, but there was no joy up and down the city wall, dead bodies and blood were everywhere, the fire was still burning fiercely, and the sad and heavy atmosphere became more intense.

The disgraced people under the city wall crowded under the eaves of the houses facing the street to avoid the attack of the golden man's bow and crossbow.

"It's been going on for two days and two nights..." someone murmured, "We don't even have bows and arrows, so we can only rely on hand-to-hand combat."

"This time the golden soldiers have already climbed the city wall, and there will be more next time." Someone also whispered.

No one is looking forward to stone bombs anymore.

"Officials are all liars." A member of the public said suddenly, raising his head angrily.

A figure on the wall broke into his sight.

It was a little child, standing in the middle of the city gate, standing upright like a flagpole beside him.

The angry eyes of the people dispersed.

Even in such a dire situation, King Huai still stood guard on the city wall.

"Running out at that time was death, but now staying here, I still have a few more days to live." An old man said with a sigh.

But in the end you have to die.

There was a moment of silence all around.

"Well, you saw what the golden man said..." A low voice suddenly sounded, "If you surrender, you can not die..."

In the past few days, although the golden man's arrow rain fell into the city, there were still some white cloths with writing on them.

The content is to persuade them to surrender. As long as they surrender and open the gates of the city, the Jinren promise not to hurt the people.

This kind of cloth was quickly confiscated and burned by the government, but some of them were picked up by the minding and spread.

"It's nonsense! Can you believe what the golden man said?" An old man raised his eyebrows and looked at the man who spoke, "If the words of the golden man are trustworthy, why are they here now?"

The Jin people had negotiated a peace, but now they called again.

The people around were in awe.

"So don't listen to what they say." The old man said loudly, "We must stick to it. If the city is not broken, we will have hope of life. The Jin people can't besiege us for long."

The surrounding people nodded in agreement, but their morale was not as good as before.

The atmosphere in the entire capital has fallen into a downturn at this time, and Ning Yan, who was standing on the city wall, sighed softly.

"Lord Ning."

Miss Jun's voice sounded behind.

Ning Yan turned her head and saw Miss Jun walking over.

"It's time to assign people to guard the city gate." She said in a deep voice.

At this time, people's hearts are already unstable. If someone is deceived and opens the city gate, then their previous efforts will be wasted.

Ning Yan nodded.

"It's been arranged," he said.

"I guess the Jinren will attack tonight," Miss Jun said.

Ning Yan nodded.

"They're bound to get it," he said. "It's going to be a blast."

"We have no way out, and we must win." Miss Jun said, "As long as they can't enter this city, we will win."

For more than ten years, the soldiers and the civilians have to prevent the Jinren from breaking the city even if they fight with corpses.

Ning Yan understood what she meant.

"King Huai, are you alright?" he asked.

Miss Jun turned her head to look at the tent, and King Xian also came over, talking to King Huai.

"What do you plan to do if the golden man breaks the city?" Xian Wang asked, patting his stomach.

His expression was relaxed, as if he was talking about something as trivial as the weather.

King Huai looked serious.

"This king will kill himself," he said, "and will never fall into the hands of the golden men."

King Xian looked at him and shook his head.

is it wrong? King Huai was a little puzzled.

"It's not suicide." King Xian said, "I should jump off the city wall and kill one by one."

King Huai suddenly realized, and nodded seriously.

"The emperor is right," he said.

King Xian patted his stomach proudly.

"However, with your body, it is estimated that you can only kill one person." He said, "This king can definitely kill two people."

Hearing this, Miss Jun couldn't help laughing, and Ning Yan also laughed.

As soon as they smiled, they heard vibrations in the distance. The expressions of the two changed slightly, and the faces of the people on the city wall also turned pale.

The Jinren were about to attack again, and they didn't even give them a chance to breathe.

It was already dusk, and the Jinren didn't care about the taboo of attacking at night, which showed his determination.

"Fight." Ning Yan said, turned around and strode away.

……….

The drums of war resounded heavily in the city, and countless footsteps on the streets were noisy.

Chen Qi stuffed a piece of cake in his hand into his mouth three times and twice, and handed over a bowl beside him.

He turned his head and saw Fang Jinxiu.

"Why are you here?" He asked vaguely, took the bowl and drank it down, swallowed the pancake, and looked at Fang Jinxiu, "So, you might as well not come to the capital."

Originally, the ticket number with Fang's family in Yangcheng hadn't been allocated yet, so it stands to reason that he shouldn't come.

Fang Jinxiu looked at him.

"It's a good thing I'm here, otherwise I would have to think about your life and death every day." She said, "It's better to die together to save trouble."

Chen Qi laughed.

"You want to die with me," he said.

Fang Jinxiu looked blank.

"I mean Jun Zhenzhen, not you," she said.

Chen Qi laughed, but said nothing, and handed the bowl to her.

"There are not enough people in the city, and now we need more young people to go to the city." He said, pausing for a moment, "I'm going."

After saying that, he turned around and strode away, and soon mingled with the people running on the street, like a billowing tide heading towards the city wall without hesitation.

Miss Jun was still standing on the city wall and could clearly see the golden soldiers rolling in again.

Whether or not the city can be defended depends on tonight.

"Miss Jun."

A voice sounded behind.

Miss Jun turned around and was a little surprised to see the person coming.

"Mr. Gu," she said.

There were four or five people standing behind him, and the leader of them was Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu.

After Jiufu was picked up by the Xian Wang, he forgot about him.

But Lu Yunqi left, and no one was guarding the Huai Palace, so it's normal for Mr. Gu to come out at any time.

In view of Jiufu's various performances, Miss Jun did not have much hostility towards Mr. Gu, but rather respected him.

Now that Jiuxun has been brought up so well, she certainly doesn't think that Jiuxun was born with it.

"Why are you here, sir?" Miss Jun asked.
